Tonight is the longest night of the year. Today (21st) and tomorrow are the shortest days. Now this, in my opinion, is worth celebrating. So Val and I are opening a bottle of cava later this evening to drink in the real New Year; the astronomical new year. Why don't more people celebrate this truly significant event?
From now on, we'll be looking out for early signs of Spring and beginning to plan - with Jill and Mike - what crops we'll be sowing and when for your boxes and bags in 2007. Happy Solstice!
